Finally, everybody has something to say. Everybody has a voice. Some will appeal to more people, and therefore be more popular – but even the meekest is bound to create an echo in others.
For we are all human beings, and I believe there is a fundamental unity between us – a little bit of “me” in the “other”.

Here is a screenshot of what poor daniel sees when he come here.
My apologies to all visitors who do not see this page more or less how I see it. I’m working to fix the problem.
Church of Scientology… Not [en]
Operation Clambake is a very well-documented site on the Church of Scientology.
I’ll review it for Astoundingweb once I have explored it enough to do it justice.
Clubbing [en]
Out dancing last night to celebrate my brother’s birthday, I tried to mentally enter the lives of these people who would spend all their week-end evenings dancing away to deafening music, consuming alcohol and possibly more evil substances.
Do you really get a chance to know people and meet future friends in such places? Can you get more there on a human level than fast sex and body rubbing?
Sure, we need face-to-face and physical contact with other human beings.
But admitting you get that in other areas of your life, does an evening out clubbing have more “value” than an evening online – especially if you are not very keen on the kind of encounters the night-club has to offer?
First Snow [en]
This morning Lausanne was covered by a thin white blanket of snow. It is the first snow of the season here, and it is very late.
I woke up just in time to take some pictures before everything started melting away.

My apologies to those of you who stopped by during these last few hours, while F2S was having FTP trouble, and were greeted with a broken page. All is back to normal now!

Light in the Kitchen [en]
Thanks Dad, I finally have light in my kitchen again!
I also did a lot of frantic shopping and organizing for my flat. I’m tired of camping.
I now have a real “living-room” and a few loose ends are being tied up.
It was about time!

Orateur [en]
Il y a des gens qui ont le don de vous endormir lorsqu’ils présentent un exposé. Souvent, on verra qu’ils commettent une erreur capitale, qui entraîne toutes les autres: ils essaient de “dire” un texte écrit.
Par là même, ils s’interdisent tout dialogue avec leur auditoire. Ils ne nous parlent pas, ils ne font que déclamer. Ne dit-on pas parfois: “Il s’écoute parler!”
Si l’on a la moindre idée du fonctionnement de la langue orale, on comprendra aisément que cette approche rende l’exposé, si intéressant soit-il, totalement indigeste. Lire à haute voix est un exercice très difficile. Parler à des gens l’est bien moins – nous le faisons sans cesse…
